Be aware that some laser or inkjet printers don't scale 100% drawings accurately. More annoying is how some clock designers think that you don't need dimensions at all since they're supplying 100% full scale drawings. If that's the case, how do you know whether your printer's "100%" is true? All you can do is confirm via other known dimensions. In one set of plans I had to set scaling to 91% to end up at a true 100%.
One large mistake. NO spark quench capacitor fitted the sparking will eat away pure silver contacts. Far better contacts can be found by removing the contacts from a contactor or heavy current relay, these contacts are made from a mixture of metals designed to stand contact sparking.
Neat clock. Did the instructions include theory of operation of the electronics? I am curious how the transistor triggers the coil to add energy to the pendulum.

I'm a bit late to the commenting party, but it was my desire to build a wooden clock that got me started in woodworking in the first place. I've lost all patience for making an actual clock, but have gone on to making plenty of nice things with wood and now have a full shop.
Hola, compré estos planes de Clayton Boyer, https: //www.lisaboyer.com/Claytonsite/Claytonsite1.htm, tiene muchos tipos diferentes de planes disponibles. Creo que si puedes encontrar una copia de la revista scrollsaw, hay un diseño de Claytons llamado Genesis. Creo que cuestan alrededor de 40 estadounidenses más gastos de envío. Utilicé el traductor de Google, así que supongo que esta traducción está un poco confusa. Espero que encuentres lo que estás buscando.
it depends, prices vary where you live and availability, If you go for straight plywood, I'm guessing at least 100 dollars depending on materials where you can get them maybe more, Hardwood extra. but it's gonna last a long time and you will make mistakes so you need extra wood and metal stock. I just bought something per month and worked that way. Man hours are definitely not included. But it's a cool project.
Ukuloonie thanks for the quick response. I have an ample supply of Russian birch ply. I was just wondering about the other parts. I have a CNC so I could cut everything on that... if the included kit has included dxf files. I’m guessing the kit gives a list of all the metal parts and where to get them?
@@terryjones8360 I'm not sure if you buy just the paper plans that it includes the dxf files, You could send an email to Clayton about that he's generally amiable. I know that the printed out plans have a sheet of 1:1 where you lay the brass tubing and rods on the print out paper or you can measure and cut to size. I bought the the hardware from an aircraft hobby store which had the sizes I needed. The best drill bits which I found to cut dimensional holes accurately are the Brad points from from lee Vally tools. I guess with a CNC you can get good results.
I'm starting to make the gears. My band saw doesn't like me, so I had to use the scroll saw, but that's OK. Cut the teeth leaving the line. I bought a Harbor Freight 1 inch by 30 inch belt sander. This is well worth the $45. Also bought 320 grit sanding belts at another store. Do not get anything coarser. Finer if you can find it. This is fast, accurate and beyond easy to finish the teeth. Do all of one side first and than the other side. The backstop for the belt is about 1/16 inch thick, so you can get almost to the bottom of the sides of the teeth. Adjust the belt to just past the edge you are sanding. Again, you need a belt sander. Yes, I know it's a Harbor Freight and will take more time to get it set up than the clock you are making but you cannot imagine how easy it is. No, the HF sander isn't that bad. This is my second clock, so I speak from experience.
I have a number and letter set of drill bits beside the fraction set. You can often find a bit a thousandths bigger or smaller which is perfect. Having built a clock, I agree 100%, ...except the jewelry part! :)
deseo saber si nos podemos comunicar mediante correo electrónico, deseo aprender a hacer este tipo de relojes, me apasiona mucho, mi correo es medardo_sc@hotmail.com espero que si, gracias
Excellent work as always, you and Clayton inspire me greatly. Am halfway through my first three of his Deco clocks. Why 3 you may ask? Figured that if I have to cut one gear with so many teeth, I may as well stack them and cut them three at a time lol. Do this on each gear and so far is working out well. Will be immensely pleased if mine turn out to be half as good as yours, Adrian Iredale’s and Clayton’s. You really are an exceptional craftsman and I thank you for sharing your hard work and expertise with us all, thanks mate, excellent work
Cool, I'm glad that the videos helped,your, your clocks will be around for a long time. I like the idea of multiples, as then you can see where to improve and it will give you loads of experience for when if you decide to build more wooden gear clocks.
